Day 52 - March 20th - Hailstorm

Julienne and I ran down to our son David's house to see how construction was coming along. It had been rainy off and on during the day and finally calmed down about 3pm. I took a coat, hat, and gloves. It was about a 4- 5 mile run. Along the way it got hot so I took off my jacket and gloves and hid them in the bushes. Coming back it started to rain again just about the time I retrieved them. No sooner had I done so then hail and lightning started. We were headed up a 1.5 mile hill on Rimrock Road in Hayden. It seemed like the longest mile I have ever run. My ears got beat with the hail, my pants and shoes got soaked. I was cold and tired. Back home a hot shower never felt so good. This was my first experience running in hail.
